Her Majesty remained at Windsor while the Prince

The list includes four Kings, two Queens, Imperial
and ROYAL Higbnesses by the score, the whole
dplomatic body and extremely select deputatlon
from London society," but no Americans, think
except members Of the Legation Mr. Blaine noo
having been presented could not according to Court
etiquette, be invited.
Ministers whose sovcrcigns are in London arc
privileged to entertain them at dinner and Am
bassadors may do as much. For Imperial Prlnces
hero as representatives of Emperors invitations lrom
English noblemen like Earl Cadogan and the Earl
Of Fife are not refused. Baron selvyns dihod 'he
King and Queen Of the Begians, Count Hatzfeld
dined Prince and Princess William OF Prussia anu
Lord Fifc's Royal guest was the King OF Saxony.
What was called royal fete at Harhngham yeSter-
day afternoon attracted nearly all tho RoyilVicS
to witness polo matches and pony races Inc
Archbishops Of Canterbury hopes to see some OF

Ia'ace The King Of the Belsians has been secured
to lay the first stone OF the library of the Peoples
Palace at the East End this morning. The Countess
Of Jersey at home at Osterlsy Park, though eight
miles of, may prove formidable nyd 10 'he
Archiepiscopal attractions at Lambeth.
London will soon see the last Of its Continental
guests Every day witnesses the departure
of one or more The Queens invitations Ior the
most part expire to-day. The Gown Prince OF
Germany viii remain as now at Norwood, whence
he comes daily to London to visit DR.. Morel
Mackenzie. He undergoes at once another operation
ON his throat. The Princes health is to all ap-
pearance unaffected by the local trouble. He has
constantly been in public, and was the most
admired figure in the Queens escort among all the
foreign Princes. He goes everywhere during the
day, but not in the evening.
The baA given by the Countess of Rosebery- on
Thursday al Lansdowne House to the Queens
guests was by far the most splendid private
function of recent times The number Of invita-
tions was extremely limited. The Royal pessonages
present were about thirty, their suites numbered
nearly 200 more and perhaps 800 would cover the
rest Of the company The decorations OF Lans-
downe House were on O scale to which London Is
little used This was the one great private enter
tainment for the Foreign royalties and no effort was
spared to make it impressive. Flowers were used
as they are used in America The army OF epaulet-
ted servants was in attendance. Supper was served
in the great dining hall lor the Royalties and in two
drawing-rooms at the same time for the other
guests Dancing began at IL and lasted till .
the next morning.
If anybody has cause TO be grateful that Jubilee
week is nearly over it is the police. The force
under Sir Charles Warrcns command is not ado
auate for continuous service over a great area.
